Many of the most iconic NFL games in history took place on championship weekend, and this weekend could very well offer us another one.
The Chiefs host the Pats in record-setting cold as it’s forecasted to be in negative temperatures upon kickoff at Arrowhead—before the wind chill. “At least the Rams get to play the Saints in their dome,” you may be thinking. That’s not a good thing. Countless NFL players, retired and active, have attested to the fact that the Superdome has the greatest home field advantage in football. Maybe the Rams wish they were playing outdoors.
Either way, we’re set for two great matchups in the Championship round, and no matter what they’ll ship off two absolute units of teams to the Super Bowl. The Pride of Detroit staff made their picks for Sunday:
